danish band, slaraffenland plays towne lounge this thursday sept 27th
I love the interweb. I just got an email a few minutes ago from Adam Heathcott who, along with his wife Sara, runs Hometapes out of Boulder, CO. His email was to let me know that one of the bands on his label, Slaraffenland, who hail from Copenhagen, Denmark will be playing the Towne Lounge in Portland this Thursday alongside Donny Hue & The Colors and Oh Captain. The MP3 I grabbed from the link that Adam sent sounds amazing, have a listen and I think you’ll agree. A show to check out for sure.

From the picture on the post, it’s hard to imagine these guys at the Towne, though it’s much easier to imagine such from the mp3. I mean… have you been to many shows at the Towne? This fits the mellow, experimental vibe that presides there, but the Towne has one of the tiniest stages in Portland…
I actually wish I could go to this - I love the Towne - but I will be taking my kid to his first show tomorrow (They Might Be Giants).

Have to agree, these guys fit a little more into the Sufjan Stevens genre than might be expected at the Towne. I can’t imagine them playing small venues for much longer, maybe Doug Fir next time?
